Newmar 2 Station Intercom System Bright White
Newmar 2 Station Intercom System Bright White — Product description
Enhance Vessel Communication with Reliable Wired Intercom Technology
Navigating the demands of life on the water requires clear, instant communication between key areas of your boat. Whether coordinating from the helm to the engine room or bridging the gap between deck and galley, a dependable wired intercom system cuts through noise and ensures every message gets heard. This 2-station setup in bright white delivers straightforward, point-to-point voice contact without the hassles of wireless signals that can falter amid saltwater spray, engine interference, or thick hull materials.
Built tough for marine environments, it runs on standard 12 VDC power—plugging seamlessly into your boat's electrical setup. The high-impact plastic housing resists everyday knocks, while the crisp white finish complements modern cabin aesthetics. Every unit ships with a bulkhead mounting bracket for secure, flush installation in dry, sheltered spots away from direct moisture.
Core Features Tailored for Boaters
- Simple Operation: Lift the receiver and tap the call button—hear a loud buzzer and see a glowing indicator lamp on the receiving station for foolproof alerts.
- Two-Station Design: Perfect for essential links like bridge-to-engine room or salon-to-cockpit, supporting just the connections you need without excess complexity.
- Durable Construction: High-impact plastic in bright white, engineered to handle vibrations and humid air, though best placed in protected areas indoors.
- Low-Power Efficiency: Draws minimal current from your 12 VDC system, preserving battery life during long passages or anchored downtime.
- Complete Kit Ready-to-Install: Includes two stations, 40 feet of interconnect wire, fuse, terminal lugs, and all mounting hardware—no hunting for extras.
Streamlined Installation for Quick Setup
Getting this system online takes minimal tools and know-how. Run the supplied 5-conductor wire between stations, connect via color-coded terminals, and secure with the included fuse and lugs for safety. The bulkhead brackets allow flexible positioning—mount at eye level for easy access, routing wires through existing conduits or behind panels to keep your boat's lines clean.
Pro tip: Test continuity before final mounting to avoid rework, and position units away from high-heat sources like engines. For longer runs beyond 40 feet, opt for quality marine-grade 5-conductor cable to minimize signal loss. Total setup weight is around 5 pounds, making it lightweight for overhead or bulkhead installs.
Why Choose Wired Over Wireless for Marine Use
In the marine world, reliability trumps convenience. Wireless systems often struggle with VHF interference, metal hull reflections, or battery drain in damp conditions. This wired solution offers zero dropouts, privacy without broadcasting, and longevity without recharging. Ideal for workboats, yachts, or fishing charters where split-second coordination prevents mishaps.
Expandability is another edge: Start with two stations and later add compatible multi-station units for helm, crew quarters, and more, sharing the same robust wiring backbone.
Maintenance and Long-Term Performance
Keep it performing like new with basic care: Wipe exteriors with mild soap and water, inspect wiring connections annually for corrosion, and store spares in a dry locker. No fancy programming or apps—just plug-and-play dependability that marine pros trust for seasons of service.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the call function work on this 2-station intercom?
Simply lift the receiver and press the single call button. This triggers a buzzer and illuminated lamp on the other station, alerting the recipient to pick up for clear voice communication.
Is this intercom system suitable for outdoor marine use?
It's designed for indoor, protected installations on vessels. Avoid direct exposure to water, rain, or splashes to ensure reliable operation.
What type of wire is required for installation?
Use 5-conductor marine-grade wire for the PI-2 setup. The kit includes 40 feet, but extend with similar cable for greater distances.
Can I expand this to more than two stations later?
Yes, it's compatible with multi-station models like the PI-10 series. Plan wiring with extra conductors (3 plus the number of stations) for future growth.
What power supply does it need?
It operates on 12 VDC, common in most boat electrical systems. Fuse protection is included for safe integration.
How rugged is the bright white housing?
Crafted from high-impact plastic, it withstands vibrations, light impacts, and humidity typical in marine interiors, with a clean white finish that resists yellowing.
The Phone-Com intercom system provides direct, wired, point-to-point communication anywhere on the vessel. Voice contact to any phone in the system is as easy as lifting the receiver and pressing the call button. Phone-Com operates on 12 VDC. They are constructed of high-impact plastic and are available in either bright white or traditional black. Bulkhead mounting bracket is provided. Two versions are available:
PI-2: Designed for communication between only two points. A single call button sounds a buzzer and illuminates an indicator lamp on the companion phone. Available singly or as a set with 40' of interconnect wire, fuse, terminal lugs and mounting hardware.
PI-2 SET: Two station phone set, 40' interconnect wire, fuse, lugs, mounting hardware; 5 lbs.
PI-10:For multiple station calling capability. Up to 10 phones may be interconnected, and each phone has 10 call buttons. Sold individually-- see wiring requirements below.
Phone-Com Wiring: For PI-2, use 5 conductor wire. For PI-10, add 3 to the total number of stations to determine minimum number of conductors required.
Note: Phones are not waterproof and should be installed in a protected location
